Fuel injector wiring

Well I recently replace one of the plug wires that got rusty somehow. And I notices that if I touch the fuel injectors or the wires the sound of the idle changes, I figure I am shorting it out a little or something. I took a pic of the wires in the dark tonight when I got home from work and I will make a video of the problem tomorrow if you want.

ok, all the pics i took in the dark suck except one and it just shows the rubber broken around the wires.

the wires are still coated in there own plastic covering

That picture appears too big more most cell phones.

Anyways, I'd say the terminals are probably dirty if anything. There's always a chance that the wire could be slightly pulled off of the connector since the boot is somewhat broken but if the injector wasn't firing you'd definitely notice it. You may just try cleaning them with some electric contact cleaner then use some dielectric grease to be absolutely sure.
